A busy day for me so I’ll post a handful of links for you all:

That’s Agyness Deyn on a bicycle. I think she was featured in Teen Vogue magazine in their green issue, or something like that. Does anybody know the details?

Velorution in London has some nifty stylish leather ankle straps.

European cities planning to go green.

Cycling to work is an addiction.

Should you buy your bike on the Internet?

An errand bike in every home.

Arlington, Virgina Car Free Diet Expo January 29.

Car Free Char. Via.

Watchdogging.

The experience of riding low trail bikes.

Cycling at the 2008 Olympics.

I mentioned TechShop last week. TechShop is the open access workshop where they provide the tools like welders, laser cutters, CNC lathe, powder coating oven, sign making machines, industrial sewing machines, and other industrial tools for the kinds of projects you see at MAKE.

Jim G was kind enough to point me to his review of the TechShop experience, where he learned to make his own metal bicycle fenders.

TechShop in Menlo Park, California plans to expand throughout the USA this year, with workshops in Marin, Sacramento, Los Angeles, and San Diego, CA; Seattle; Portland, OR; Austin, TX; Orlando, FL; and Durham, NC.

Everybody is ooohing and ahhhing over the news mapping functionality for the iPhone. If I understand correctly, the iPhone can triangulate from the location of 23 million mapped WiFi hotspots as well as off of the cell phone network to determine the location of your iPhone. That’s cool.

The other big news was the expected announcement of iTunes movie rentals. Tied into this, though, is another try with the Apple TV — you can now rent movies directly from your Internet connected HDTV set, no computer required. That’s cool.

I enjoyed these humorous ads for Dick’s Sporting Goods featuring Lance Armstrong as a store manager. Don’t watch these while drinking a soda or coffee.

Via Sara. And for more humor, see this comic about Frankie Andreu’s departure from Rock Racing (also via Sara).
